Smoked Integrated Tail light...???
So I just ordered me a Smoked Integrated Tail light last night for my bike, because I'm ready to put my baby back together.
This is what I ordered!
Amazon.com: Motorcycle Integrated LED Tail Light Brake Signal Light with Smoke Lens for Honda CBR 600 CBR600 F4i 2001 2002 2003: Sports & Outdoors
My question is, i'm getting mouth now about it being smoked and if it is legal, well when I ordered it, it states that it's not DOT approved "haha" so I knew that but didn't really care.
I live in NC, I have looked and read everything on state laws and cannot find anything that its illegal other than them stating it needs to be seen at least 500ft away from the vehicle behind you.
Does anyone have this particular tail light on there bike.....if so have you had any problems?

That's what I said, but just wanted someone's opinion....thanks
I'm not really worried about it, just as long as it's visible!
Expecting it by Friday hopefully!

I was wanting to paint the bike, custom. But I didn't really want to change the whole stock look. Plus I love the red.
I honestly dont think the seller knew it was there....he told me everything about the bike other than that spot.
The bike has been perfect since I got...took it to the shop and everything was good sooo..

As long as the tail light is red, the turns are amber and clearly visible (even in
daylight) while the bike is operating, you should be fine. What the lenses look
like when parked is irrelevant to road safety.
That's my take, although I haven't actually done the research to verify it. But I
wouldn't hesitate to mount those on my bike, if I had the desire.
On the other issue of DOT certification...
A lot of the lack of DOT-approval is the cost of the testing procedure, to gain it.
Smaller companies will forgo the claim, to save production costs. So it's not
automatically a bad thing.
Hope this helps, Ern
